Alaska Airlines expanded the number of direct destinations from its hub at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport to 84 with new service to Nashville International Airport. The carrier offers the route between two of the country’s largest and most popular music capitals daily.
“Loyal Pacific Northwest customers will enjoy our convenient schedule, and our new Nashville customers will appreciate our great service, complimentary assigned seats and our premium cabin experience,” said John Kirby, vice president of capacity planning, Alaska Airlines.
Flights to the Music City are operated with fuel-efficient, next generation Boeing 737 aircraft, offering customers the ability to enjoy free entertainment on their own devices and power at every seat.
Passengers can enjoy a taste of the Northwest with area-inspired food and beverages such as Beecher’s Flagship cheese and exclusively blended Canoe Ridge wine.
“We are thrilled to welcome Alaska Airlines to Nashville and Middle Tennessee,” said Rob Wigington, president and CEO, Metropolitan Nashville Airport Authority. “Year-round nonstop service to Seattle has been one of our top priorities, as part of a strategic effort to deliver nonstop service to major cities in the northwest U.S. that will continue to fuel Nashville’s growth and economic prosperity.”

Oct 14, 2026Time Travel: The World’s Best Aviation Museums Let Visitors Fly Into the Past
The desire to fly is lodged deep in the human psyche. Aside from the common dream of being airborne, references abound in old tales and myths. In the epic poem Shahnameh by long-ago Persian poet Ferdowsi, the fabled King Kai-Káús possessed a flying throne that was drawn into the sky and held aloft by a team of colossal eagles. Built of gold and wood, this throne craft may not have been aerodynamic in design or particularly comfortable to travel in, but it managed to bear the daring king all the way to China.

It’s a traveler’s worst nightmare: bed bugs. The insect’s name suggests they are limited to beds, meaning the worry is restricted solely to homes, hotels, vacation rentals and any other place we could possibly rest our heads. But, on planes? Well, bed bugs have and do indeed infiltrate the fabrics of even these seats, despite many of us not actually getting any rest on a plane.

Oct 12, 2026The Quest for Quiet: Choose the Best Noise-Canceling Headsets to Suit Your Travel Style
Back in the 1990s, when I was traveling on my airline pilot father’s standby passes, there weren’t many ways for passengers to cancel ambient noise while in flight. I remember squishing and twisting little yellow pairs of foam earplugs with my fingers and letting them rise in my ears while I swirled ice around in my Pawberry Punch and ripped open a cold pouch of Delta-branded Biscoff cookies. Much has changed in travel technology since those days; and although I’ll forever miss Dusty the Delta Air Lion, I’m happy to report no more need for plastic ear foam.
